Never Such A Maiden
Never such a maiden trod this earth before
Never such a bounty offered to the poor
Never such a triumph over Caesar's law
Never such a saviour lying in the straw.
Never such a servant watching o'er a king,
Never such a chorus, such a welcoming
Never such a levee as shepherds stumbling
Never such a burden as gold all glittering.
Ever is the promise born on that day was
Ever is the Gospel He said would come to pass
Ever is Our Lady queen of Christe-mas
Ever is our Saviour abandoned on the Cross.
